Yup that's why i don't use this din. They will give you so much hassle sa post office with ridiculous calculations. I wonder kung meron na nabago dito

what I meant is the customs and taxes that are indicated on the Amazon charges ... I tested adding to cart a laptop, free delivery, but the estimated customs and taxes were $300+

you won't deal with post office/customs directly. you will still get the item delivered straight sa iyo. naka on top pa sa purchase na abot ng 10K pesos and up yung customs tax etc. kaya sobrang laki ng magiging final price.

I've made my first trial purchase for shipping to PH. Mga kitchen knives, pero $105 lang total. Let's see how that goes.

Gusto ko sana yung Masterbuilt na analog electric smoker, pero not qualified for free shipping. Ang bulky eh. Mas mahal pa shipping sa mismong item.

Bought 2 items pinagsabay ko pag check out kaso may import tax kung above 10k pesos. Hiniwalay ko nalang para NO import tax at pasok sa free shipping dahil above $49.

Yup. ganyan ang teknik para makatipid. Kaso sayang din ang nawalang tax, pang Grand Prix ni BBM and family rin yun lols

Kung pwede lang talaga na hindi magbayad ng taxes sa lahat ng bagay eh ginawa ko na noon pa. 50% naman yata ng binabayad natin na taxes eh nabubulsa ng kung sino sino.

Hindi naman. 50%? mas malapit sa katotohanan ang 60% hahahahahaha

Pero back to topic. it is good na kinonsidera ng Amazon ang free shipping sa Pinas.

I remembered years ago may nadaanan akong topic dito sa pdvd where members who import dvds/blurays from amazon din yata yun, na nagrereklamo kasi parang ayaw na magship nila papunta sa Pilipinas kasi di nakakarating sa buyers ang mga parcels.  Ninanakaw sa post office ang natatandaan kong dahilan.

Yung mga CD, SSDs, HDDs at BluRays ba kung mag order ako sa Amazon, to my doorstep na rin ba ang delivery? Hindi na fina-flag ng OMB sa customs?

From my experience sir, yes. Dun sa delivery address na mismo.

It used to pass through the post office many years ago. One of my Amazon orders took 7 months to arrive from the US and I got a notice to pick it up at the post office. The vendor already sent me a replacement item (because we thought it was lost) which I had shipped through Johnny Air.

Dumating na package ko (estimated Oct 19, so 5 full days early).

UPS did the last mile delivery.

EDIT:  My second package was delivered by Ninja Van.  I've also had one package delivered by LBC.  Pero majority is Ninja Van.

when you receive your items does it come in one package only or separate per item?

I ordered 2 items, two weeks ago.  One of the items has already been received.  Still waiting for the second item.
